Trivia
Henry Cavill refused to take steroids to muscle up for the role. He also refused any digital touch-ups or enhancement to his body in his shirtless scenes. He said it would have been dishonest of him to use trickery while playing Superman, and he wanted to push his body to the limits, to develop his physique into one that was worthy of the character.

Goofs
When the ships arrive and broadcast the message to the world, multiple cities across the planet are shown, but it is nighttime in all of them.

Quotes
Jor-El: You will give the people of Earth an ideal to strive towards. They will race behind you, they will stumble, they will fall. But in time, they will join you in the sun, Kal. In time, you will help them accomplish wonders.

Crazy credits
The Warner Brothers, Legendary Pictures, DC Comics and Syncopy Inc logos are shaded steel gray and appear in swirls and bends of Kryptonian metal.

If you look closely, the Warner Brothers, Legendary Pictures and DC Comics logos have Kryptonian writing.

Gets Too Much Hate - SUPER Underated

Look, I love this movie because it's so different than the other superman movies we've had. A lot of people hate on it because it's "too dark" and "superman isn't like that" its like come on now they didn't change the character too drastically...

I try to watch this film once a year, Henry Cavill is my superman. Idgaf what others might say.
